Isle by Melis Kozan is a sophisticated brand that captures the fun, funky flair of its designer, Melis Kozan. Her passion for fashion began early, and her career at Diesel in Italy introduced her to the fundamentals of design and the world of international fashion.

In 2005, Melis and her husband, Chad Kozan, combined her eye for women’s apparel with his experience in textiles to launch Isle—an international clothing brand that has steadily grown into a complete lifestyle collection. Today, Isle offers tops, tunics, sweaters, jackets, pants, leggings, skirts, faux fur styles, and the iconic Cha-Cha Dress that first put the brand on the map.

All original prints are created in-house or sourced from Italy, France, and Turkey, and every garment is manufactured in their Istanbul facility. With design and production closely overseen, Melis and Chad ensure the exceptional quality their customers expect.

Constantly inspired by their travels—as well as art, photography, film, and global culture, Melis infuses each collection with an international sensibility. The Isle woman is fresh, edgy, sexy, and sometimes sweet; she seeks pieces that are stylish yet wearable, effortlessly transitioning from day to evening. Isle designs are modern, chic, and easy to wear for women of all ages who love to stand out through their style.

Born and raised in Istanbul, Melis and Chad now live in New Jersey with their twin sons, Arda and Batu.
